§ 17-601 INTENT AND PURPOSE OF DISTRICT.
   The "F-P" Floodplain District is intended for application in those areas of the community which are subject to inundation from surplus storm water as defined by the Flood Insurance Study and accompanying Flood Insurance Rate Maps, Number 2002760001C and 2002760002C, effective March 17, 2003, and Community Panel Number 200621-0260-C, effective February 17, 1988, and any subsequent additions or amendments thereto, prepared for the City of Wamego, Kansas, and surrounding areas of Pottawatomie County, by the Federal Insurance Administration. This zone is intended for application throughout the Wamego Zoning Jurisdiction in locations where official floodplain delineation has been established. The regulations are intended to minimize the extent of floods and reduce the height and violence thereof; to minimize the loss of life and property caused by floods; and to secure safety from floods through the confinement of floods within reasonable limits by regulating and restricting areas of development along or in natural water courses and drainways.
